Yes many of them house muslim immigrants but thats not the main cause since there are some that house christian immigrants aswell. The main problem is cultural as in family and church/mosque trumps the state. This forms societies in the society that dont conform to Swedish laws and culture and therefor alienating themselves.
I live in a city that has two "no go zones" and work with youth from those areas. They are all christian 2nd or even 3rd gen immigrants. The issue here is that they dont call themselves Swedish. Its a bad thing to be Swedish in those circles. The church and family holds great power and decide pretty much anything in those areas. As a stereotypical Swedish looking fella you wouldnt get into to much trouble venturing into those areas at daytime but come night your best bet is to stay away since you would be considered a mark to rob or harass since there would be no retribution from family or church.
The main issue with the "no go zones " is that the residents usually harbor a strong resentment towards police, medics etc. Thats where the no go comes from. Its a big risk for those to venture into the areas. Police have to enter with two cars if they plan on leaving the vehicle. One leaves and the other patrol watches the car. Ambulance and firetrucks need escorts aswell.
Tribalism is a huge part of the problem in many communities that migrated from the 3rd world at one point or another (along with arhcaic social/moral rules and religion/superstition, obv). Arab muslims look down on other muslims and have no issue treating them as literal slaves, just look at migrant ''workers'' in the middle east rich countries. In Eastern Europe, gypsies (who came from India hundreds of years ago) still organize themselves in clans/tribes , have a designated ''chief'' and have a go at each other quite often for the most trivial reasons.
As westerners we tend to think of the world in terms on countries/nations but we need to remember this was never the case for most of the planet, it's always been tribes and tribal unions and it still applies to this day for the most part. Invading a land and then drawing a few straight lines on a map doesn't turn it into a country or a nation, if anything it creates far more problems (african genocides, India/Pakistan, sunnis/shias in Iraq etc). The idea that you can build a european style state is as ridiculous as trying to export 21st century western values to places where most people are more than happy to live in a medieval time capsule.
